Widner pitched yesterday against the
Sea Gulls, u New Orleans amateur team,
The result OF his work Is not yet known.
The Philadelphias have passed New
York on their way up to the pennant. 1t

him and his tactics.
Harry Lyons, of the Binghampton Club,

Stricken, of the Clevelands, was fined

Morrow, the Southern League President,
Eddie Fusselbach-our own Eddie-is
catching on in great style at Omaha. lie
is alternating between third and back OF
the plate, and is playing the game Of ms

What's the matter with the Phillies:
They're all right. As Mike
Kelly would put it just ut the present
time, "The Phillies are the boys for Nell
lie."
During ball game ut Poolville, neal
Utica, N. Y, on Monday, Otto Bronson,
eighteen years old, was struck on the
temple by the ball and almost instantly

The Louisville scorers are the star roast
ers OF the country. Collins got clever
one from an enragcd scribe, who wrote:
''POcrmau hit to Collins, and the great
| Am muffGd it,"
With two men out in the eighth, Ben
nett raised very high fly. White ran
! from first 10 second, and could easily have
made third before the ball fell in Irwin s
hand, but he isn't built that way.
Among the pitchers who will probably
retire at the end OF the season are Weld
man, of the Nets" Kirby, of the Cleve-
lands, and Shaw, Of the Washingtons OF

ing.

81, 600 and the other players considerable
extra salary if the Chicago Club win the

Charleston, made two bagger, two triples

Long John Ewiug'S arm wlS COnSidera-
bly, swollen yesterday, and it looks now as
though the great twlrler will be unable 10
90 in the box any more this season. Work
might only serve 70 aggravate his injury.
Hecker and Kelly had a tiff the other
day, and now they never pass by as they
speak, or something like that. ''Kel'' is
accused of taking the gang out and filling
them up. From exp rienoe it is quite APP
parent that the gang does not need leader,
and If Kelly took that honor what a time
they must have had.
Inspector of Red Lamps Browning got q
$50 present from Manager Kelly the other
day. Then they jawed SO loud in the
club house that all the sparrows flew on,
of the park. When "Petey" appeared in
the game that followed, he deliberately
struck out, and then iusulted the specta.
tors by removing his cap and making q
bow.
Reilly's two-bagger yesterday was placed
to his credit through fine exhibition Of
nervy base running. The fielders were in
the shade of the fence laying" for him,
when he corked q little one that dropped
back of second. Jones waited for it to
bound to him, and was too late to catch
John on seeing him blowing along the
base line to second. He reached there in
safety.
Prof. VIM. Patterson, the magnetic
healer who has had great success in treat.
ing lame arms in the base ball profession,
gave Ramsey's great left a rubbing yester-
day and the tendon which had been sprung
snapped, indicating to the professor that il
had resumed its place. Ramsey then tried
his arm little at pitching, and found he
could handle it with considerable freedom
and not cause pain. He will not, however
give it much exercise before Sunday, which
is considered the earliest period that he
can do any amount OF pitching. Prof.
Patterson is the man who brought Heoker
and weighing back into pitching form.
''Can the Philhes play ball, pspa?"
"A little, my son; a little. But why do
you ask?"

gait"
